David Fowler, President of the Family Action Council of Tennessee, issued the following statement on today’s Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as “Obamacare.”

“Today’s decision should be alarming to all Tennesseans, as it undermines freedom of conscience based on religious beliefs, limits individual liberty, increases the federal debt, and advances the Obama administration’s pro-abortion agenda. Tennesseans’ tax dollars will now be used to subsidize insurance coverage of elective abortions, and insurance plans will be required to provide free abortion-inducing pills. Our citizens will be forced to comply with this law and abandon their religious freedom, or resist and be punished with crippling fines. The decision is profoundly wrong both morally and legally.”
